Newsworks sponsors Breaking the News at the British Library

Breaking the News, British Library’s first major exhibition to spotlight the role news plays in society, exploring issues of choice, interpretation, truth and trust in the news, is being sponsored by Newsworks.  The exhibition opens in the spring. 

Breaking the News will interrogate what makes an event news, what a free press means, the ethics involved in making the news, what objective news is and how the way we encounter news has evolved. Delving into the biggest collection of news heritage in the UK, housed by the British Library, these issues will be set against the backdrop of over five centuries of news publication in Britain through newspapers, newsreels, radio, television, the internet and social media.

Newsworks is the the marketing body for the UK’s national news publishers and champions the importance of a free press and leads collaboration across the industry to support the future for trusted journalism.
